In general why do they do these tribute albums? Is there money in it? I seldom hear them get any airplay. In fact the only tribute stuff I have heard on the radio was Clapton from the Hendrix tribute and a couple country artists that covered Eagles songs. You want to hear tribute, pick up Hayseed Dixie's tribute to either AC/DC or Kiss done in Bluegrass. Yee-Ha!
There's a local bluegrass band that did a complete remake of the Wall. Why would they do it? It sure brought them a lot of local publicity, and I even bought a copy for novelty sake. The quality of the musicianship is good, and it's failry entertaining to hear The Wall goes country-hick. The name of the band escapes me at the moment, but if anyone is really interested in knowing, I'll try to find it. I'm sure this would be fun at parties, given EVERYBODY knows this album.
